Reggae Month is Here!

Jamaica kicked off Reggae Month with a service on Sunday Feb. 1st at the Fellowship Tabernacle in Kingston. Organized by the Ministry of Information Culture Youth and Sports, Reggae month focuses on the genre which originated in Jamaica. There will be concerts and simposia throughout the island and Reggae Industry Awards and Dinner at Jamaica.

Of course a lot of focus will be on Bob Marley's contribution to the genre. Though very much revered in his native land, he is still not a national hero. That is the subject of a discussion being organized by Zync TV and Street Hype Newspaper of New York at the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts at 80 Hanson Place (corner of South Portland), Brooklyn, NY 11217.

Another event taking place in Feb. is the launch of the Soul Rebellion Concer Series. (see flier)
